A motion to adjourn was carried soon after the result of the ballot had been an nounced.
 After the adjournment the Democratic members of the Board held animated dis cussions among themselves. Aldermen Pohl- men and Flagg were accused of not having voted for c. T. Driscoll, but this fact the Alderman most emphatically deny. There was certainly ''kicking in the traces" some where, said a Democrat, for Alderman Noo- nan was left off of the Derby board of direc- tors and & Republican elected in his stead.
 Alderman Noonan said as parting saluta- tion to the newly elected president, Richard M. Sheridan, that there would be some pretty ''tall fun" at the next meeting of the Board. This remark was taken up by a Democratic member of the Board to mean, just what it probably does, that Alderman Nooaan and his friends would not side in with Democrat ic brethren in any more elections. "The ami mostly which has suddenly arisen among the Democratic members of the Board is looked at with considerable interest by the Republi- cans,'' said Republican Alderman, t'and we await the result with close attention"

SLAIN Bx THOSE WHO LOVED HER
A Woman Killed by Her Husband
 

A Woman Killed by Her Husband and Son at Her own Request. OTTAWA, Can, Got. 30.-Advices received
 by the government here from Edmunton,
 Northwest Territories, in connection with
 the preliminary investigation into the mur-
 der of Mrs. Marie Courtereille, by her hus-
 band and step son, disclosed one of the most inhuman crimes ever reported in the far
 West. John Ward, son-ln-law of the elder prisoner, testified that he was living near the prisoners at Lesser Slave Lake Early in July last Mrs. Courtsreille showed symptoms of insanity, and, as he alleges, begged her relatives to kill her, as she was about to be- come acannibal, and was possessed of an evil spirit that tmpelled her to, kill and eat human sbeings,r To prevent her from doing injury it was attempted, according to Wards story, to keep her tied for twenty days, but she repeatedly got loose. One night, however, about the beginning of September, Ward, who was sleeping in Courtereille's house, was awaKened by the woman who had unloosened her letters, and was choking the old man. When spoken to she beloved like wild animal. She was secured and asked to be killed, otherwise she would kill and eat them. The husband and step-son replied that they could not kill her, but finally agreed to pray for her. She again appealed to them to take her life, she said she could not re- sist the evil spirit within her, and would certainly kill and eat them all if they did not do as she said. Fearing her threats would be carried into execution, father and son agreed to despatch her, and, securing an axe, they carried out their terrible determination, bury ing the body immediately. The prisoners are now both confined in Fort Saskatchewan waiting trial

MURDER AND FORGERY.
Condemned Murderer's Cleve
 Scheme to Cheat the GaIIows.

A Condemned Murderers Clever
 Scheme to Cheat the GaIloWs.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-A special to the Her
 aid from San Francisco says: This city was still under the influence of the tremors of excitement occasioned by the numerous em-
 bracery cases which were in the course of
 trial when it was thrown into convulsions
 over the discovery, October 23, of the body
 of Henry Benhayon, brother of Mrs. Cecilia
 Bowers, deceased, for whose supposed mur-
 der her husband is now under sentence of death. In the same room with the corpse was 8 written confession and a number of letters addressed to various persons sup porting the confession and indicating the suicide of the writer. The confession was to the effect that the suicide was the mur- derer of his sister and that Dr. Bowers was innocent. It did not take someone long to start the theory of murder and forgery, with Dr. Bowers as the instigator of the
 plot. The theory rapidly found adherents and soon 8 number of persons were placed under surveillance by the police ] Meanwhile the coroner's inquest was in progress and the testimony threw strong | suspicion on John Dimmig, native of Cleveland, O., and for the past three years a | resident of this city, ss the murderer. It also for 8 time strongly pointed to A. Lowenstein as an accessory. Dimmig and l Lowenstein were taken in charge, but
 Lowenstein after being detained twenty four hours was released as further testimony
 completely exonerated him. Dimmig, however, is still held nding further ex- animation. Strong circumstantial evidence
 has been brought to light against him, how
 ever He is known to have negotiated for
 renting the room in which Benhayon was found dead few days later and to have ob- tained cyanide of potash of a druggist to re- move nitrate of silver stains from the skin. (Benhayon's death was proved to have been
 caused by dose of cyanide of potash.) He
 is also known to have been strong friend
 of Dr. Bowers and to have been married to l Mrs. Kelley, who was witness for the de | fanaa in tha RoMers murder trial.

 NORWICH, Oct. 3O.-It is claimed that the big town debt under the administration of First Selectman John F. Brown has increased startlingly. At the last town election there was bolt of Republican taxpayers, Brown was defeated, and this Investigating commit tee WAS appointed: E. Winslow Williams the Hon. David A. Wells, ex-Consul Rug gles, William c. Tucker, Dr. P. Cassidy and Solomon Lucas. They were empowered to go to the bottom of town accounts. They are to report to grand rally of citizens tor morrow night and tell what they have found. Some of their findings, it is said, have leaked out and the following is said to be true:
 "A lavish policy in all ths departments. Nelson vergason was hired for $3, 700 year to take care of the towns roads. He spent $1 200 the past year. He kept no itemized accounts. His entries appear in this way: F$8, 300 for labor at from $1. 35to $4 day, and so on to the grand total of expense. No laborers name is given and there is nothing to say what anyone labored at. In great many cases we'll known road laborers have volunteered the statement that they did not
  public works, and scores of others have tes- tifed that the highest wages paid to them were from seventy five and eighty cents to $1 .25 day.
 ssSelectman Browns carriage hire for rid ing about town and trans porting outside poor last year was between s7O0 and $500, against from $50 to $50 for similar service paid by his predecessor.
 sIt was found by the committee that pub lie debts of S17,0OO on account of unpaid bills did not appear at all on the published town report. Again, many bills were sup pressed on the report, although the footings of debt and credit talIied. These were omit ted out of difference to the economical notions of taxpayers, who might find fault with them There is an omission of $2, TOO on the bridge, and of $4,000 on the highway &C., counts. Some of the money involved was paid for Service at Hartford before the leg isature''

MILWAUKEE, Oct 30.-The finding of the
 pilot house of the propeller Vernon by 8 tug
 near Manitowac settles all doubt regarding
 the identity of the lost vessel. Scarcely any
 other traces of the cargo have been seen to-
 day and nothing has been heard of those on

 of the disaster. Captain Hawkins of the
 schooner William Home, arrived in Milwau-
 kee this morning, reports passing
 three dead bodies Saturday afternoon about six miles south of Mani
 towac. One body was that of woman with long black halr. She had life pre- server on. The other two bodies were those of men. The SentineFs Mackinaw core spondent gives the names of two persons supposed to have been aboard. Miss Katie Gallagher, of Mackinaw Island, and Miss Sallie Durkin of Chicago, cousins Both were on their way to Chicago from Cheyboy- gan. A man by the name of 0. Baurngeas, sage on the ill-fated steamer. There ap- pears to have been no passenger list kept. It is reported tonight that Boiler Inspec- tors Reed and Fitzgerald of Milwaukee were on board the ill fated propeller and are undoubtedly among the lost. A patrol of the life saving crew at Two Rivers was kept on duty all night. The captain of the steam CT Lawrence estimates the number of people on the Vernon at about fifty The steam barge Burroughs of Milwaukee is overdue and many anxious inquiries are received as to her whereabouts.
